IsNil (mis)behavior on pointers

[Deleted user]

As per title. Example:

func TestWeirdness(t *testing.T) {
	test := Goblin(t)

	test.Describe("Pointer Weirdness", func() {

		test.It("Should PASS but FAILS", func() {
			var ptr *[]int
			test.Assert(ptr).IsNil()
		})

		test.It("Should PASS but FAILS", func() {
			var ptr *[2]int
			test.Assert(ptr).IsNil()
		})

		test.It("Should PASS but FAILS", func() {
			var ptr *time.Time
			test.Assert(ptr).IsNil()
		})

		test.It("Should FAIL but PASSES", func() {
			var ptr *[]int
			test.Assert(ptr).IsNotNil()
		})

		test.It("Should FAIL but PASSES", func() {
			var ptr *[2]int
			test.Assert(ptr).IsNotNil()
		})

		test.It("Should FAIL but PASSES", func() {
			var ptr *time.Time
			test.Assert(ptr).IsNotNil()
		})
	})
}

Behavior is as expected since this is how Golang nil works with nil pointers and interfaces. Check https://blog.golang.org/laws-of-reflection
